Signed a millennial paying into a trash program I’ll likely never see a penny from.

Being 69 years old and retired, I'll return the sentiment. I hope ALL your investments go belly up and you lose every F'n penny that you invest.

Sounds like you might not have invested too much with that sour sentiment and you’re excessively reliant on Uncle Sam?
If my investments go tits up, this country/world will effectively cease to exist, index funds can’t fold, nice try.
Do you really think land outside Auburn is going to zero, nice try.
Thx
The entire stock market can fold. It has on several occasions. 79% in 1929 and 54% in 2008 Index funds wont save you if it does it in a big way again. You'll lose just as big as you would if you were in individual stocks. With all the algorithmic trading and computer controlled pre-programmed trade points in today's market, there's actually a better chance of a full blown meltdown and sell-off today, than ever before.
